Testate amoebae are widely distributed in natural ecosystems and play an important role in
the material cycle and energy flow. However, community assembly of testate amoebae is not …

Alpine lakes are well known as “environmental sentinels”, which are sensitive to
anthropogenic impacts, and paleoecological studies provide useful information regarding …

The ecology of aquatic protists such as testate amoebae is poorly known worldwide, but is
almost completely unknown in lakes of the northern Neotropics. To address this knowledge …

In the time of the global climate crisis, it is vital to protect and restore peatlands to maintain
their functioning as carbon sinks. Otherwise, their transformations may trigger a shift to a …

Biological soil crusts (BSC) are associations of different macro and microorganisms and
aggregated soil particles located on the surface of soils in many different habitats. BSC …

Testate amoebae are widely used as bioindicators in the study of modern ecotopes and as
proxies in palaeoecological reconstructions of lacustrine environments. The metalimnion …

Using a 530-year sediment record from the maar Lake Apastepeque, El Salvador, and
based on diverse geochemical and biological (cladocerans, chironomids, diatoms …

Testate amoebae are widely used as proxies in paleoecological reconstructions of
lacustrine environments; however, our knowledge on their distribution along depth gradients …

There is little knowledge about testate amoebae in lakes and their responses to volcanic
eruptions. To address this knowledge gap, we studied the paleoecology of these protists in a …

The first data on testate amoeba composition from Trang An and Van Long wetlands (Ninh
